THE BIG PICTURE: WHY YOU MUST JOIN ME ON THIS CRUSADE

Some stages in life are irreversible
just like back pedaling from adulthood to childhood. So one can argue as such
that our life is like a gear box with no reverse slot. And as we watch our kids
grow, it excites as well challenges us. It is a classic forward ever backward
never case.

At the heart of this forward ever
trend is our children, their life in the making and the future's wide open gate
which they must step into soon. And we are bound by love to give them our
best. Yes, we may rub off on them in ways they may not feel comfortable, but we
can't back out - we have seen the map to the bigger picture's lair.

So while you maintain the home
front, we run the school's angle as well. Our relationship is thicker than
blood. We are partners and at the heart of our business deal is our
children.

Since we are in this deal of raising them together, we must all sing from the
same score sheet. We need to rapport more, exchange ideas and thinker with plans
aimed at their betterment.

In my previous writeup, I left you with the impression that they are smart and
are rearing to take on the world. But you also know they are wet behind their
ears too - as inexperienced as a green horn can ever be.

I hinted about the bigger picture, suggested ways of motivating them to see
that bigger view, the birds view, the reason for whatever we/they are doing
now.

Do you know why you must be on my
team? The answer is simple. Experience is never sold in the market. And it will
be a question of time before they start earning theirs. So in one way or the
other we must use ours to light up their part. I don't think we would want them
to learn from their errors nor ours.

No one will ever cry wolf if we are
in sync. Destiny has knotted our paths together. And its paved corridors are
solely reserved for our children's feet.

I am in a hall right now listening to the performance of my students after the first continuous assessment test. I took...

PAPA MMESO

I am Papa Mmeso a passionate teacher and a would be parent currently residing in Lagos state, Nigeria.

Teaching is a vocation many are called to but few are chosen.

My reflections are culled from my day to day interaction with students. The lessons learned are all over this page for you to take to heart.

It has dawned on me that the relationship between the home and the school deserves and demands a re-visitation. I therefore churn out these write ups praying and hoping that we will make off them (our children/students) stars that would illumine the future and also leave an indelibe mark on the forever winding lane of history's memory lane.

Do leave your comments as you pass by. I need every bit of it to make us better.
